• If you buy a mutual fund through a broker or other financial professional, you pay a sales charge or commission, also called a load.

  If the charge is levied when you purchase the shares, it's called a front-end load. If you pay when you sell shares, it's called a back-end load or contingent deferred sales charge. And with a level load, you pay a percentage of your investment amount each year you own the fund.
